Tisk — tisk!

What I really want to do

Is kick the cat.

I mean right through

The f’n wall. Wailing bitch.

But since she is spry

& I am descending stairs now

(is she pregnant again?)

With coffee at hand

Out of time when Homer said Dawn

With fingertips of Rose lifts

Up the world: what can I do?

I muffle a hold

& then sound out get!
